Chicken Little
Director: Mark Dindal
Actors: Zach Braff, Joan Cusack, Garry Marshall
PlotIn the small town of Oakey Oaks, a young and diminutive rooster with a reputation for panic causes widespread pandemonium when he rings the school bell to warn everyone that the sky is falling. He claims that a piece of the sky shaped like a stop sign had hit him on the head, causing the townsfolk to panic. However, when no evidence is found, the town dismisses his story, leaving him and his father, Buck Cluck, embarrassed. This incident tarnishes his relationship with his father and makes him the laughingstock of the town. Determined to restore his reputation, the rooster tries to blend in and live down his mistake, but the ridicule from his peers, particularly the school's baseball jock, Foxy Loxy, makes it tough for him to shake off his past.
Burdened by his infamous reputation, he finds solace in his group of outcast friends: Abby Mallard, a kind-hearted and supportive duck with unorthodox advice; Runt of the Litter, a massive and paranoid pig with a love for pop music; and Fish Out of Water, an energetic and mute fish who wears a helmet filled with water. Together, they support each other while facing the challenges of their social standings. Despite his attempts to move forward, the rooster is once again thrust into the center of an unexpected and bewildering situation when a similar piece of the "sky" falls and hits him on the head again. This time, he's determined to uncover the truth behind these strange occurrences, even if it means going against the town's prevailing skepticism and risking further embarrassment.
